Forced to pick, I would opt for the tiny apartment. I know 95% of my friends would say "middle of nowhere", but about 95% of that 95% would freak out of if it were truly in the "middle of nowhere". When they hear "middle of nowhere" they are thinking 25 miles outside of the city, but on a huge lot of land.

As long as woot still ships to the location, big house in the middle of nowhere. Also, would require internets. Seriously, I really need my internets. In the middle of nowhere, I could set up a still, too!

Thanks to up-to-the-minute tracking, I don't track my package so much as stalk it.

We live in the middle of five rugged wooded rocky acres located 10 miles from the center of a resort town of 50,000 population. The town is midway between San Antonio and Austin so we have the best of all worlds. Unfortunately we are getting old which will force moving to town in a few years.

In my 20's I had an appt. in the center of town, partied every night. In my 30's I had small children so a house close to shopping and amenities. In my 40's expanded the house to keep up with the kids and friends.
In my 50's the kids went to college and the large house seemed very empty. In my 60's sold the big house in the best neighborhood and bought 3 acres of redwoods in the mountains and build a smaller "adult" home with home theater, sewing room, game room and ONE guest bedroom.....

Apartment.

That is what Exede and DirecTV are for.

I left a condo in a master planned community for a house with acreage 15 minutes from "civilization". It's wonderful hearing crickets and coyotes instead of honking horns, neighbors fighting, and all of the other BS that comes from living so close to ohters with no concern for you.

I've got the best of both. Good size house in the very middle of of a big, historic city. Parks a few blocks away, 30-minute walk to work on tree-lined streets past 19th-century houses, no need for a car (have car share program), 15 minute walk to the orchestra or theatre, great bars and restaurants all over the place, world-class museums in walking distance, friends nearby.

And while you're mowing your lawn, I'm doing a quick 15-mile bike ride along the river through the park. Good cities are the absolute best.

15 minutes away from the city is not what this is about. It would be pretty hard to get electronics up since there probably won't be access to power in the middle of nowhere.
